Weekly Wrap 29 August

Bell Direct
August 29, 2025

As August reporting season draws to a close, we saw plenty of big results move the markets this week. Supermarket giant Woolworths (ASX:WOW) tumbled over 10% on weak profit and margin pressure, facing pressure from its major competitor Coles. In contrast, Sigma Healthcare (ASX:SIG) impressed with its first post-merger results, Eagers Automotive (ASX:APE) delivered record revenue, and Qantas (ASX:QAN) soared on robust travel demand. Looking ahead to FY26, cost control, consumer shifts, and sector tailwinds are expected to drive momentum, with opportunities emerging across growth-focused mid-caps.

In this week’s wrap, Sophia covers:

  • (0:15): an overview of the results over this reporting season
  • (0:40): why Woolworth’s shares are tumbling
  • (1:40): a dive into Sigma Healthcare, Eagers Automative and Qantas’ results
